Models

This is a list of all the models of boats in our system, ordered by the last time they were updated. You can use the filters below to sort the boats to only what you want. You must log in in order to add a new model or edit existing ones.

Competition race model. New runner bottom design for 1/4 mile drag racing. The plug and molds were built by Harlan Orrin in 1972-1973. The boats started production at about 2 per week, with the weight set per customer- BFF heavy or UGF light.

It has an aluminum hull, & fiberglass deck, and is powered by a Chevy V6 262ci turbocharged engine that makes 450hp & 550 ft/lb of torque. It has been known to leave the water on a hard launch. Came equipped with a Hamilton/Aitchison jet unit.

The 19' hydro is the second generation Sanger picklefork. The Ski Hydro model had a 2 rib deck with a wide cockpit as standard, but you could order a wide cockpit ski hull with the drag bottom and outboard steering.

Early boats had 1 rib on the deck, later boats had 2 ribs on the deck. All of the ski hydros had a much wider cockpit than the drag hydro counterparts. The early pickle fork hulls (1874-1977) had shorter sponson forks than the later 19' hulls (1978-1984).

All of the drag hulls had a 5-rib deck (hence the nickname 5-ribbers), and a narrower cockpit than the ski hulls. The cockpit dimensions above were taken from the advertising material and may be inaccurate for the drag hulls.
